The field proven TacticalPower® UPS line is ideally suited for military, industrial, rapid response, medical, computer and telecommunications
applications requiring high reliability, rugged
construction, compact size and light weight design. These
units are equally suited for use in shipboard, airborne,
vehicular, field deployed or fixed locations with controlled
or uncontrolled environments. The ETI0001-2227
is specifically designed for lightweight global power by the
US Navy as the power source for critical systems because of
the stringent performance and reliability requirements.

The heavy-duty
chassis, occupying only 5.25”(3U) of rack space while
delivering up to 1000 VA of clean, uninterruptible power.
The rounded metal corners and rugged handles front and
rear, aid in safe handling. Internally, all major components
are well secured and electrically insulated to prevent
damage due to shock and vibration. These units can be mounted
horizontally or vertically. Optional heavy-duty rack slides
provide easy installation and removal of the unit with
full extension.

The internal
shielded input transformer provides galvanic isolation
with provisions for both domestic (115 VAC, CONUS) and
international (230 VAC, OCONUS) input voltages. The autoranging
input voltage selection allows inputting either 115 VAC
or 230 VAC without having to open the UPS enclosure. Special
EMI/RFI filters and input power factor correction minimize
both input current and harmonics. The unit also operates
as a frequency converter, taking 46-70 hertz input and
converting it to clean, uninterruptible 60 hertz power.
Optionally, 46-440 hertz input as well either 50 or 400
hertz outputs are available.

The LED
arrays keep the operator informed as to the unit's status
including load and battery levels. The Elapsed Time Indicator
records the number of operational hours for records and
scheduling preventative maintenance of attached equipment.
The front panel also provides easy access to both the AC
Input and Battery Input fuses. Coupled with the adjacent
spare fuses, MTTR is reduced to less than 15 minutes.

The internal
intelligent thermal sensors provide two stage monitoring
of unit temperatures, with both local and remote Battleshort
override capability of thermal shutdown. Battleshort can
be engaged via the front panel control, via a remote contact
input or via a software command. When in Battleshort, an
audible alarm is sounded and an indicator is lit. The high
intensity audible alarm can be heard in high noise environments
and includes an audible enable/disable switch.

All
controls and protective devices are brought to the front and
rear panels with critical switches or circuit breakers
having finger guards. Further, all front panel devices are
recessed to prevent damage or accidental operation. Clips on
the front panel hold spare fuses for ready access. The input
circuit breaker and the galvanic isolation transformer all
provide a double pole isolated source for shipboard systems
or overseas locations where phase references and grounding
are not consistent. The manual bypass feature included is
operated from the front panel. Even in the bypass mode, the ETI0001-2227
still provides galvanic isolation, transient surge
protection and EMI/RFI filtering.

The ETI0001-2227 has the added benefit of having a field replaceable battery
via front drawout battery module. The battery is a true
hot-swappable module and does not require going to bypass
like competing units. Even with this battery module removed,
this UPS can continue to operate as an electronic power
conditioner and frequency converter, providing clean, well
regulated, sinusoidal power to the load. The batteries are
maintenance free with immobilized electrolyte and are
constructed of flame retardant materials for added safety.
For more information, see the Battery Technology section.

The rear
panel provides locking connectors for the input and output
power with various optional configurations available. This
unit draws air through the front air filter and exhausts
out the rear vent into the rack. This allows the unit to
be used in negative or neutral pressure racks. For positive
pressure racks, rear to front or rear to side versions are
available. A removable and washable intake air filter and
high capacity stainless steel ball bearing fan provide added
protection in both controlled and hostile environments.

The two status D shell connectors provide both a contact
and serial interface with optional computer
software providing loss of AC and low battery status
as well as remote shut down capability. See
the Power Distribution Units section
for a listing of stand alone PDUs. See the N5 Series for
a version of this UPS with an integrated PDU and remote
control

Overall,
the PowerStation line is uniquely qualified for critical
shipboard, vehicle, airborne or land based systems combining
advanced modular design features with highly reliable construction.
